And I guess hymnbooks are a form of social media..

We’re in a bit of an in-between stage at the moment - we’re half moved out from our flat, half packed up, and half getting ready to move back to Glasgow. In the meantime we’re hanging out in a wee house in the country, with J revising away for finals and me doing my best to act like a country husband..

So there I am dandering through a train, pulling my little coffee wagon, gently persuading business travelers to repent of their lack of purchases from me, and the explaining the difference between cafe creme from the machine (tasty lavazza goodness) and cappuccino (powdered nonsense with hot water), when after quizzing me on the coffee brand (industrial espionage, duh..! gave away all the secrets..!) and knocking back an espresso the operations manager for Switzerland and Austria hands me his card and slips me a sneaky look! Don’t think I’ll be jumping ship ( or train..) anytime soon though.. kinda getting used to my trusty steed..

There were 7219 admissions during the study period, comprising 167 complete lunar cycles. Stroke admissions were evenly spread throughout lunar phases (P=.72). Admission with medically unexplained stroke symptoms was significantly increased during full moon phases (P=.023). There was no variation in admission rates during other significant dates.
CONCLUSION: There was a statistically significant association between admission to the acute stroke unit with a diagnosis of medically unexplained stroke symptoms and lunar phase. ( Ahmad F, Quinn TJ, Dawson J, Walters M Journal of Psychosomatic Research 65(2):131-3 2008)

so more people have Medically Unexplained Stoke Symptoms (MUSS) at the time of the full moon… what do you think?

Didn’t have any plans for this afternoon.. untill now..! Exhibited at the Zentrum Paul Klee till October…

UPDATE: In a stunning piece of undercover citizen journalism, and contrary to updates in foreign media updates, it was today uncovered that the large American doo-doo at the heart of switzerland is still looking rather deflated. The slightly swiss medicine student disguised as a foreign tourist managed to gain access to just behind the bicycle shed, a common site for dog excrement, and managed to get this exclusive snap of the beleaguered popped poop.

It’s not the gear that matters. It’s you and your ideas that matter. Tone is in your fingers.
